Privately set on nearly an acre one block from Lake Michigan, 134 Melrose represents a rare convergence of architectural artistry, bespoke design, and modern luxury. Over 15,000 square feet, the estate reflects the provenance of Paul Konstant, Athens Construction, Susan Stacey Design, and Scott Byron & Co. A cohesive vision of architecture, construction, design, and landscape. Set deep within the property, the residence reveals itself along a private approach culminating at the motor court. Generous windows draw sunlight through layered interiors while framing the grounds. The kitchen pairs walnut and handcrafted stainless-steel cabinetry with unlacquered brass and a custom stainless-steel hood. A sunlit breakfast area overlooks the backyard, while a double-sided fireplace connects to the family room beneath its walnut ceiling. A discreet scullery supports entertaining. All seven bedrooms are ensuite. The primary suite features a fireplace, sycamore dressing room, vaulted marble bath, and terrace with spa. Its suede-paneled private office conceals secure storage. A separately accessed west wing offers a fitness room, sauna, second office, full bath and an option for a separate entrance. With 11-foot ceilings, the lower level offers a family room, game area, family workspace, full kitchen, and generous storage. The heated four-car garage connects directly to a beautifully organized mudroom. More than 60 mature trees transform the backyard into a secluded resort with a saltwater pool, spa, and pool house. An expansive glass-door system opens fully to the grounds; six infrared heaters, a blackened-steel fireplace, sound system, kitchen, and bath create a private ski-lodge atmosphere for year-round entertaining. Integrated technology supports comfort, security, and continuity. Convenient to the Kenilworth Metra station and served by Joseph Sears School (JK-8) and New Trier High School. Welcome home.

Chicago’s luxury property market has changed dramatically within the past decade – growing from a small, self-contained specialty, served by a handful of brokers, to a vast and highly competitive marketplace requiring an ever-increasing level of sophistication and reach.

Today, what drives success in the luxury market is not only a skilled and accomplished corps of agents, but also a comprehensive marketing strategy to brand individual listings and reach a relatively diverse audience.

That is why we offer the @Luxury Collection, a sales and marketing program that leverages @properties’ unmatched resources and relationships to meet the needs of Chicago’s luxury property owners. From new-construction in Lincoln Park to landmark mansions in the North Shore, from vintage high-rises along Lake Shore Drive to the newest generation of super-luxury towers, @properties has successfully marketed and sold hundreds of millions of dollars in high-end Chicago real estate.
